Jade Vixen

I was tempted to Photoshop the armpit, but I resisted. Even after all these years, I'm still trying to figure out what should be left in and what should be touched-up.

Lyndsay

Twister. Yeah, the twister comes, here comes the twister...

Maggie

She comes from a land down under... where women glow and men plunder.

Sofia & Cammy

One of my favorite 'tricks' are nudes that I can shape, contort, bend and light into abstract shapes. I love it when the viewer's eye must explore the shapes, highlights, and shadows... and barely notice the nudity. Nudity is just the canvas, secondary to the composition and impact of the photograph. I want the eye to dance around the image, exploring the tonalities and elegant lines of the image. Making the image B&W get's rid of the flesh tone, and completes the transformation...

Izzy

Rope bra, a bit tight.

Mië

I am Doll eyes, Doll mouth, Doll legs, I am Doll arms...

Lady Lazarus

As Clarence says, "Just use your hands!".

Meira

Night vision.

Sally

Rope bondage dress.

Summer

Summer in the winter, cold indeed.

Heff

All dressed up and nowhere to go.

Meira

She's got a leg, and she knows how to use it. Seriously, though– I really dig the unusualness of this shot.

Aisha

Winter is coming.

Sally

Yet more shower shots.

Katie Marie

Wonderfully gritty, with raw emotion. What I've been aiming for lately.

Devon

This is an out-take from a large body of work based on a type of body painting. I have only put a very select few images from this series' of work on the internet (mostly out-takes), for personal reasons. I mainly think that it is a rather original series', and I fear it will just be poorly imitated. I don't really feel this way about anything that I post on this blog. There are so many b&w nudes, erotic or otherwise, on the web, that it's hard enough to stand out– being imitated isn't so much of a concern.

Percolate

Percolate is Jade Vixen's sister. Percolate and Jade couldn't be more different than each other in real life– ironically they often look remarkably similar in my images of them. That probably has more to do with the fact that I like to create personas in my images- many of the people that I photograph are often portrayed as more of a reflection of myself than themselves. Most people that I photograph are typically a little taken aback when they see my images of themselves (in a good way)– even though they were there for the shoot! They simply are not used to looking at themselves in the way that I portray them. My images are an illusion rather than a mirror. I've photographed Percolate many times, and I typically have created glamorous pictures involving elaborate makeup with her- because she's actually very laid back and doesn't really wear makeup. These images are a little closer to her actual personality, but they are still definitely a persona...
